Worst gel manicure I've ever had. Also, the students are not taught how to make conversation with…read moretheir clients. Went in for a wax one day and the next I went in for a gel. Neither times did the students doing my services do general small talk and instead chatted with their friends. The managers seem friendly, but the students need A LOT OF WORK!!!!!!! Photos of the manicure I got. Gel removal took 45 minutes, and the gel job was horrendous. I hardly do reviews but I will not be coming back. This is only my experience with the waxing and gel service. Other services may be different!!

I had a pedicure. My student was very sweet and professional. She did an eccellent job. However,…read morethe polish seemed thick, almost stringy, coming from the bottle and there were streaks on my nails. The student admitted the quality of polish they use is not the best. She fixed it with an extra layer of top coat. My polish chipped and peeled within 24 hours. I feel bad that students are provided products that don't set them up fir success. There was a group of students nearby, working on each others' nails, talking about personal subjects and swearing. It didn't really bother me but it seemed unprofessional.

I guess it's my fault or is it? I was looking for an opportunity to get my nails done for cheap…read moreand decided to go to this establishment because they advertised a $15 full set. This is an amazing deal because most nail shops charge an upwards of $35. For those of you who are not familiar with acrylic nails here is a little info for you. In order to apply the properly you need a drill. This place did not have one. The young man who did my nails had only been in school for 3 weeks, out of a 6 month program. (I found this out 1 hour into the nail process) I should have known when I sat in the chair that I was in for a problem but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, especially since the place in the middle of nowhere and gas price are crazy right now. Long story short. The young man did the best he could with 3 weeks experience and no drill. I asked to see his instructor because he said that he hadn't learned how to use the drill yet. She came out with two broken finger nails that were in desperate need of a fill themselves. I asked if she could use the drill since the student hadn't learned yet and she stated that they didn't have any in the building. YOU CANT APPLY NAILS without a drill. He did my nails with a regular nail file that you buy at Sally's. Two hours later I told the young man that I had to leave. I left without him painting the nails because I knew that I would have to go to a professional to get them fixed. $25 dollars later at a regular nail shop my nails looked somewhat presentable. One week later I'm at writing at my desk and a nail goes flying off towards a client. Want to talk about embarrassing. I went back to a different nail shop to get it fixed and she said I needed a whole new set. At first I thought she was trying to get my money, but she proved it by easily popping of all nine nails without soaking them. Most nails require over an hour of soaking before they can be taken off. $35 dollars later I had a beautiful full set of nails, that won't pop off while writing. Also, the other students at the school were very unprofessional. They were laughing and giggling as if there was no one else in the room. There is a time and place for everything and when clients are in the room it just isn't the time. Lastly, when I attempted to pay with a $20. The "instructor" stated that they didn't have any change. Even though my nails were horrible, I was going to leave a tip. But the idea of being force to tip infuriated me. This is my very first review EVER, so this is really a reflection of how horrible my experience was. To the young mans credit he tried his best with what he had. (3 weeks of training and no drill) Grand total was $75 for something that should have cost me $15.
